And slowly I turned….

Dude, I guarantee that it will get mentioned negatively on feminist websites tomorrow. Especially considering how flinchy J. Lo was. Trust me on this, I've read enough of them.

Casey might have hurt himself
with the lady voters by kissing J. Lo…. I can't help thinking that a not insignificant number of women will see that as kind of sexual assault-y, kissing a woman without her permission. (he may well have had it OK'd behind the scenes, but we don't know that)

Seriously? he sucked. He should have been gone weeks ago. He keeps trying to be a rock singer when his voice is really only suited to being a male Colbie Caillat. His last two performances were reminiscent of Sanjaya singing "You Really Got Me", but worse.

Good god…
another hipster critic ranting about Will.I.Am… you all act like he shot your dog or something. Like it's a crime to make lightweight music that's at least somewhat enjoyable, unlike most of the bands you guys love, who just make me want to drive a railroad spike through my eardrums. You must be risking…

I loved the "Murlonio"
thing for the tribe name. Rob knows better than anyone how stupid post-merge tribe names generally are, and hung a big ol' lampshade on it.

How can you talk about "Mas Tequila"
without talking about the fact that it is just a crappy rip-off of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Pt. 2" where he just sings new lyrics over music that is so similar to Glitter's that he might as well have just sampled it Puff Daddy style.

The Dead Lesbian Trope is bunk anyway. It may have existed 40 years ago, but now, I don't think so. If you look at the TVTropes entry on it there are precious few modern examples (at least of anything that anyone has actually watched) And what there is in terms of modern examples is some pretty biased scorekeeping.…

I'm going to have to hand in my man card for knowing this, but the Mc-thing was a meme going around the GA writer's room when the show first started. I think it was actually Christina who hung the nickname on him. "McSteamy" didn't join the show until the 18th episode of season 2.

I'm glad that Rachel Zevita
changed the song so much… Fiona Apple's original version makes me want to drive a railroad spike into my ears. Rachel took an awful song and made it inoffensive. She should get points just for that.

It was an imitation of a witness in front of congress during any number of investigations in the last 25 years, but particularly Reagan.

This was Summer Glau's
First appearance in the Whedonverse….

So catchy tunes are a bad thing?

Seriously… is bashing the BEP required
to get your hipster douchebag critic card? It's so tiresome. I'm not gonna say they are great, but they are less irritating than most of the garbage out there. It must drive you fucking nuts how popular they are.

The Episode "Piper Maru"
was named after Gillian Anderson's daughter Piper Maru.

Either Tarantino or Thurman said back when the first two Kill Bills were out that they were thinking of waiting a few years and then have Vernita Green's daughter come after The Bride for revenge.

Once again…
The viewing public shows that given a chance to vote between someone interesting, and the boring same old same old, they will choose same old same old every time.

If I was Brian Dunkleman…
I would hunt Seacrest down and punch his face in. There was no call for that joke.

Stray observation…
The lawyer that sprung Charlie from jail was Sundra Oakley from Survivor: Cook Islands. Wonder if casting a Survivor castaway was happenstance, or planned.

Crystal could definitely be Melinda Doolittle part 2, or Adam Lambert part two. I think she may have a devoted following, but how many votes will she pick up as other people leave?
